[eBay Charity Auction: DW DRUM HEAD AUTOGRAPHED BY NEIL PEART OF RUSH]
Just a reminder that the Neil Peart signed 14" Drum Workshop drum head charity auction for Southern California Deputy Sheriff Robert "Bobby" Corrales and the T.J. Martell Foundation that I'd mentioned last week ends today! The bidding has already topped $900 and Michael of NeilPeartDrumsticks.com has sweetened the deal by throwing in these 3 Neil Peart collector drumsticks assuming the auction closes over $1500:
* 1 pair of 1995 Pro-Mark Neil Peart Signature 747 Drumsticks
* 1 pair of 2006 Pro-Mark R30 Limited Edition Green Ink Drumsticks (900 pairs made - valued at $500)
* 1 pair of 2007 Pro-Mark Snakes & Arrows Tour Drumsticks (retail version)
(These three pairs are collector drumsticks and were not personally used by Mr. Peart)
From the eBay auction listing:
... Neil donated the 14" drum head to help raise money for Southern California Deputy Sheriff Robert "Bobby" Corrales who has been battling leukemia for the last nine months. Bobby is of Chinese-Mexican ancestry and finding a bone marrow match has been a serious challenge. As of today, they still have not located a donor.
Bobby is a very giving person to his community and the job he serves. In recognizing this, Neil donated this signed drum head to help raise money for Bobby and his family. Great for any Rush fan or collector or someone wanting to help out a person in a crisis who would be there to help you out in a time of crisis. Buyer to pay shipping and handling charges. If you have any further questions, please email or call John at 805.338.0892. PayPal prefered.
90% of the proceeds will go directly to Bobby and the other 10% to the T.J. Martell Foundation to help fight cancer. ...
The auction ends today at 7:41PM EST (4:41PST).
